Interesting. I didn't know those facebook groups existed. Most of the posts look like legitimate queries, although did see a couple that looked like pros trolling for pro-am students. But still. A great resource.

All valid point - however, I think the strengths of these groups are 1. Cheap. You really only need a fb account.2. It is like networking in Business. I remember reading a person posted for an request, and another person posted a reply saying that you might want to contact so and so person.3. I don't know, it seems to me that most of them have the "vital info" - beside, you can always leave a reply/message.

... but if you have a particular goal the chance of finding someone in your city with similar interests and level is virtually 0. Its bad enough on DP.com and there there are a broad range of filters and a very large dancer database...

True. I think the page might be better if there was some sort of form or filter, so that people remember what information is needed.
